Unveiling Smart Date 4.1: Elevating Drupal Scheduling

Staff Reporter

The recent blog post by Martin Anderson-Clutz announces the release of Smart Date 4.1, a substantial upgrade to the Smart Date 4.0 module, nearly one year after its launch. This new version introduces compatibility with Drupal 11 ahead of its release, addressing deprecations early with innovative solutions such as the implementation of Drupal's new deprecationHelper class. Notably, the module has enhanced its timezone handling capabilities and adopted new configuration kits, which now serve as recipes to streamline the setup of event systems.

The enhancements were prominently featured in Martins's recent talk at DrupalCamp NJ 2024.

Moreover, the inclusion of Gitlab CI for development and insights from PHPStan has led to significant code improvements. A key functional addition is the advanced views operators for the module's Date Filter, which simplifies scheduling and management challenges, particularly showcased in applications like animal pensions.

These updates aim to ease the complex management of dates and times in Drupal, making it more accessible and efficient for users. The blog post invites users to experience these improvements firsthand and contribute suggestions for future upgrades.
